An amazing experience to attend such a great symposium, lovely memories and a lovely company really.Zeinab Younis, British University Egypt
It was the best experience of my teaching career and I hope to replicate it someday.Tracy Bhoola, York University
I had an amazing time and it was everything that I hoped it would be, and that’s before you take into account the wonderful food, trips and weather that we were treated to.David Watson, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Fantastic organisation, fantastic people and fantastic place – and a great result pending!Martin Eley, Birmingham City University
The way the sessions were organised was fantastic and gave us great direction over the three days. That and the continuous stream of calories via the cakes, fruit, smoothies and coffee in addition to the wonderful choice of food venues meant even us weird vegans stayed fully energized.Jeffrey Lewis, University of Cardiff
I have been to many conferences and symposiums but this was the ultimate. I am afraid that everything I attend now that is not like LiHE will be a disappointment.Eurika Jansen van Vuuren, University of Johannesburg
I had never attended an organization like this before and surely I have learned a lot.Ayse Görgün, Cukurova University
It was a truly amazing event and I came away with the feeling that every academic should experience this kind of conference format.Richard Bale, Brunel University
About the Book, We’re Going to Publish Worldwide
We are to publish a book with the title ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION. The book will be available worldwide.
We invite faculty members at higher education institutions to write a BOOK CHAPTER showcasing an example of active learning at the university level and participate in the online symposium – where authors collaborate to finalise the book manuscript for publication.
WHY ACTIVE LEARNING?
Active learning is a method of learning where students are actively involved in the learning process.
For decades the dominant paradigm underlying university teaching has been didactic teaching in lecture theatres, where one responsible teacher delivers content to students.
Social learning theories, modern epistemologies, and new technologies are some of the aspects that have pushed for a change in the paradigm of teaching and learning in higher education.
Today, prime examples of learning-centred teaching and learning are based on active learning methodologies like:
- Problem-based learning
- Inquiry-based learning
- Case-based learning
- Research-based learning
- Project-based learning
- Blended learning
- and other similar methodologies
We seek inspiring examples of how such active learning methodologies are practised at the university level.
The book we will write together at the 23rd international LiHE-symposium will showcase prime examples of ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
We call upon teachers, researchers, and relevant professionals in higher education to submit a BOOK CHAPTER for inclusion in this inspiring international book of the highest quality. The book will inspire readers to engage their students in new ways of teaching and learning.
The book will document ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
The book will be published worldwide by Libri Publishing Ltd., Oxfordshire, UK.
You will get credited as an author of the BOOK CHAPTER you submit. All BOOK CHAPTERS are double-blind reviewed, reviewed by peer-reviewers in collegial workgroups, and undergo editorial reviews.
Book editors: Kayoko Enomoto, Richard Warner and Claus Nygaard
YOUR SUBMISSION
Submit a 13-15 page chapter documenting your case of ACTIVE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION. Follow the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES, which are downloadable from this website.
Your case must be clear and descriptive. Think of your chapter as a formative description, enabling readers of the BOOK to learn from your example and try your active learning methodology themselves.
The deadline for submitting your CHAPTER for double-blind review is November 30, 2021.
Reviewers will refer to the following questions when reviewing your CHAPTER:
Q. Does the BOOK CHAPTER show a clear case of active learning in higher education?
A. You must clearly describe your case of active learning. We wish to publish a book that inspires readers to take action and implement active learning themselves.
Q. Is the case of active learning documented in the BOOK CHAPTER compelling and concise?
A. It is a must that the readers will be able to follow your active learning methodology in such detail that they can implement a similar practice in their own university settings. We wish to publish a book that inspires readers to take action and implement active learning themselves.
Q. Is the BOOK CHAPTER rooted in learning theory?
A. Your case of active learning must be rooted in and reflected within the framework of a learning theory such as behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, humanism or similar. We aim to publish a book that clearly contributes to the field of learning theories.
Q. Is the BOOK CHAPTER rooted in active learning methodology?
A. It is also necessary that your active learning case clearly utilises theory-informed active learning methodology. It may be Problem-based learning, Inquiry-based learning, Case-based learning, Research-based learning, Project-based learning, Blended learning and other similar methodologies. We aim to publish a book that clearly contributes to the field of active learning methodologies.
